Leslie Miller gathered up a handful of acorns from a fallen English oak tree and sent them home to be planted on his family’s farm in Scarborough, Ont.</p>
<p>A century later, descendants of those “Vimy Oaks” — some of which still thrive on the grounds of what is today the Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church — have been returned to the soil of Vimy, France, as part of a new commemorative project marking both the centenary of the decisive battle and the end of the First World War.</p></div></div></div>Tue, 06 Nov 2018 19:17:21 +0000pope5514 at https://www.canadiangeographic.caOur home and grateful landhttps://www.canadiangeographic.ca/article/our-home-and-grateful-land

And with a handful of notable exceptions, historians and dramatizations have placed her on the distant periphery of the greatest exploration mystery of the last few centuries.</p></div></div></div>Fri, 02 Nov 2018 13:45:49 +0000walker5510 at https://www.canadiangeographic.caSneak preview: Defying Limits, by astronaut Dave Williamshttps://www.canadiangeographic.ca/article/sneak-preview-defying-limits-astronaut-dave-williams
